Standard 1: Institutional Mission

Las Positas College (LPC) is guided by a Mission Statement and Philosophy
that define its goal as the cultivation of responses to the educational,
economic, social and cultural needs of its population. Staff at LPC are
generally pleased with the Mission Statement of the College.

The current Mission Statement does not identify the students that the
College seeks to serve. The LPC Institutional Planning Committee is reviewing
this omission. Review of the mission focuses the attention of the College
on the mission, and reveals where revisions may be needed. Because LPC makes
decisions through a shared governance system that is guided by the philosophy
of the Mission Statement, everyone on campus participates in review and
revision.
